Currently, these yeti have an ability called Ice Blast, a 3 second stun. Whether or not this is a bug I'm not sure, but they can use it while they're stunned or incapacitated. I've had them hit me with it after i gouge so that I can't get behind them to mutilate before gouge wears off. I've had tem hit me with it during a kidney shot so I can't get the second mutilate off. I'm fairly certain it's not an on-hit/on-damage, because its even happened while they were gouged and my autoattack was off. They also seem to be using it while casting (IE during the casting of the Patriarch version's Frost Breath). They can even use it while you're standing behind them. So if you're a rogue... be prepared for a frustrating fight.

These have frost resistance. I'm a frost mage and I found much better results using fire and arcane spells.

Used for the quest http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=3783, where you have to kill those guys and get fur from them. Droprate is pretty lame.There might not be so many of these where Wowhead says they are but at the right side of Everlook on the map there is a little cave and if you go there you enter Ice Thistle Hills where there are plenty of those and the mobs needed for the follow-up http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=977

One of the most annoying quest mobs for mages.Resistant to all magic.

As a mage my frost spells gets resisted alot but not my fire spells it seems. I've had a lot of resists with frost but not even one with fire yet.So I recommend using fire against these.

This spot is absolutely great for farming rugged leather.(the cave) Me, as a level 60 blood elf paladin got alot rugged leather, thick leather and decent greens.Little bit of what I got. Ofcourse on all the servers are other prices, this is blade's edge.

I would say it's around 300-350g...ish an hour if you got a good killing speed. Would also recomend level 60+

You can skill on these and the nearby higher level yetis up to 375, and I definitely got the impression that it went faster than going to TBC and skilling there.

Awesome place to farm Rugged Leather. They also dropped Axe of Rin'ji.

If you're farming for the Azure Whelpling pet (Winterspring zone drop) theese are the ones to go with. Even if you won't get lucky with the pet, you'll get rich.

Yetis are skinable AND drop cloth, have pretty nice respawn time (before you finish the cave it's about halfway respawned already) and drop very little of bag-space-wasting vendor trash (droping coins instead) saving you a lot of time on vendor-trips.

I'm still waiting for my whelpling to drop... I'm going there with 4 16-slot bags (don't have better yet, just starting wow...) aloted just for the drop, and in almost no time getting well over 16 stacks of rugged leather, about 12 stacks each of thick leather and runecloth, 2-3 stacks each of thick and rugged hides. All of those sell for a nice amount of gold on auction house.

These yetis are really nice because there are a LOT of them and they drop some runecloth. They also can be skinned for rugged leather, the majority of the time. And thick leather sometimes
